This paper reports a case of a 48-year-old woman with multiple primary hydatid cysts located in the pararectal region and right paraovarian area, presenting with atypical ultrasound and CT findings that resembled pelvic endometriosis. During laparotomy, multiple pararectal and right ovarian cysts were resected because they appeared similar to endometriosis, and histopathology confirmed hydatid disease. The authors retrospectively evaluated the source of infection and noted that the patient had no history or evidence of hepatic involvement, supporting primary infection. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it documents hydatid cysts mimicking pelvic endometriosis based on imaging and intraoperative appearance.

Abstract

We report a case of 48-year-old woman with multiple hydatid cysts in pararectal region and right paraovarian localization with an unusual sonographic and computed tomographic presentation mimicking a pelvic endometriosis. During laparotomy, multiple pararectal and right ovarian cysts resembling endometriosis were resected. Pathologic examination gives the diagnosis of hydatid cysts. Retrospectively, we investigate the primary infection but the patient had no history of hepatic and liver involvement, it is a case of primary infection.
